New Study Shows
Chance for Jobs
Greatly Improved
Employment prospects of this
year’s college graduating classes
are only a little less favorable
than those of the 1929 grad-uates,
and substantially better
than the June, 1936 classes ex-perienced.
This evidence was re-vealed
today in an announce-ment
of the results of a survey
just completed by Investors Syn-dicate
of Minneapolis.
Engineering, business admin-istration,
teaching, and general
business classifications are offer-ing
employment in greatest vol-ume,
according to the Syndicate’s
study. Law, journalism, and in-vestment
banking are near the
foot of the list.
These conclusions are based
upon analysis of questionnaires
returned by 218 leading colleges
and universities which account
for nearly half of the total en-rollment
of male and coeduca-tional
institutions.
More than half of the June
graduates of 185 institutions re-plying
to the questionnaire ex-pected
to be on payrolls before
the end of the summer. Twenty-eight
universities reported that
more than 90 percent of their
June graduates would be em-ployed,
while 13 say that they
expect prompt employment of
fully 85 percent of the June
classes.

CENTENNIAL BALL SET FOR MAY 6
King, Queen
Polls Open
On Monday
by Leonard Brodsky.
It was announced today, by
Stan Bergmann, chairman of the
Student Council Committee, that
the date of the Centennial Ball
finally and irrevocably has been
set for the night of Thursday,
May 6, at the Casa Madrid with
Johnny Hamp's famous Chicago
orchestra supplying the music.
Price of the tickets are $2.50 per
couple and $2.00 for the boys
who can’t dig up the extra fifty
cents and a girl.
Bergmann, when asked about
the cost of the dance said, “In
the opinion of many students,
the only reason for not getting
better orchestras for University
dances is the prohibitive cost, and
the majority assert that they are
willing to meet the increased
price and have a really good
dance. Now is the time for these
people to prove their claims and
pay a little extra for a dance
that is the dance of the cen-tury.”
The king and queen election,
because of the changed date of
the ball, has been set back to
Monday, May 3. There will be
polls in every school of the Uni-versity
and they will be open all
day.
Students who present tickets
to the ball bought before that
time will be entitled to extra
votes which will allow them to
vote twice for their king and
queen choices.
At the end of the nominating
period for queen, fifteen can-didates
had been named.
The list included: Catherine
Duffy, Helen Caldwell, Juanita
Carmen, Elouise Breckenridge,
Virginia Jefferies, Alyce Greaves,
Jean Pleavin, Ella Garth Choate,
Thelma Lorenz, Mary Bradshaw,
Katherine Venable, Mariam Cru-me,
Peggy Pearce, Wanda Coch-ran,
and Katherine Dobbs.

organizations, by not only the
city, but the nation, it was de-clared
by Band Manager Roy
Boesser today.
